Uploading issues - CGI seems to be the problem

TikTak · - Joined: 04 Jul 2004 Posts: 1

OK, I've got a simple Uploading script for my site. I modified it to upload to my server, just in the root folder for now. I found a file and uploaded it to test it, and now it gives me
Error 405

Method Not Allowed

And it seems the error message is from the /cgi-bin/ folder.

I (think) I've got a CGI interpreter, but what's the file extension for it? I've got CGITEST.EXE, but I'm not sure if that's right.

I need lots of help. I'm a newbie to this.

Hi TikTak !

You can find some easy instructions on installing Perl

TikTak,

Abyss generates error 405 when there is a POST request to a static file. POST requests are only accepted for scripts (and CGI applications) which are inside one of the directories listed in CGI Paths (or that match one of the patterns there.)

So if your form POSTs data to /cgi-bin/cgitest.exe, you should add /cgi-bin/cgitest.exe to the CGI Paths.

If the problem is not solved, please send your abyss.conf file and your HTML file that contains the form to support@aprelium.com .
